Australian researchers have recently developed the world's first underwater 3D concrete printing system, using a single-mix concrete formulation designed to set underwater through material design alone.

The innovation eliminates the need for multi-stage mixes as well as rapid-setting chemicals. The mix is engineered to resist washout and maintain structural integrity during printing.
